The Omani-Spanish duo who had to settle for doubles second place in the first of two $15,000 ITF Pro Circuit Las Palmos de Gran Canaria tournament in Spain went all the way to clinch the crown in the second event.
In a keenly-contested summit clash on Friday, Fatma and Abrabela played like true champions to overcome a first set deficit before defeating Argentina’s Victoria Bosio and Japan’s Kana Daniel in match tie-break.
After losing the first set, Fatma and Arabela fought bravely in the second and then were in command in the match tie-break before clinching the match and the crown with a final scoreline of 2-6, 7-5 (10-5).
Like in the first tournament, top-seeded Fatma also took part in the singles where her challenge ended in a 6-1, 6-2 semifinal loss to Swedish third seed Fanny Ostlund.
For the record, Fatma and Arabela settled for the doubles second place in the first tournament after losing the final 6-4, 6-3 to Carlota Molina Megias of Spain and Anastasia Yakimova of Belarus.
